Beneath layers of identity, can blood equal belonging?

What of our culture lives within us, and how much is determined by our upbringing?  If a part of your identity has never been nurtured, do attempts to rekindle it amount to appropriation?

Seeking answers to these questions, our gender-questioning and mixed-race protagonist, Max, meets the famed Mz Nancy, our host for the night. Witty and glamorous, Nancy seems to have an answer for everything… but, as Max discovers, things are never black and white.

This boundary-pushing, bouffon-inspired work explores what it means to be mixed-race and Black in the world today. Using bold risks, sharp comedy, and African mythology, Mx cracks open struggles of identity and belonging through the lens of a character stuck in the in-between.

Emergency First Aid & CPR Course

Deaf BC

Hello Deaf Community in Mainland.
I will have Emergency First Aid & CPR / EAD course on Saturday, March 6 for myself and Deaf Community. My understanding is that most of deaf people do not have Emergency First Aid with CPR. Certificate. They really can’t afford to pay the interpreters I decided to phone to 4 different Companies including St John Ambulance . One of Company will be happy to cover the bills for the interpreters but they wanted to have more than 12 – 15 deaf people. They have a large room for COVID 19.
If you have any concern about first aid or any information, Please leave a message in my inbox(IMessage).
Thank you.
Jeanne

We’re sorry to let you know that we will be postponing this week’s Virtual Town Hall until a later date. We want to make the Town Hall as valuable as possible by sharing the latest news about our programs and services.

We realize you set aside time in your schedule to attend the Town Hall and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Please be assured that there are not going to be any reductions to medical interpreting services. In fact, we’ve been working to improve our service model in response to community feedback.
